Immanuel Hospital Nursing Class of 1970 Reunion!

 I attended Immanuel Hospital School of Nursing from 1967-1970. Above is my class during our February 9, 1968 "Capping Ceremony".

July 23rd was the 46th reunion of the Immanuel Hospital School of Nursing Class of 1970. It was GREAT! So much fun seeing others. I had not been to a reunion since my 21st reunion many years ago. There were 18 of us who attended the reunion, plus a number of husbands. We had so much fun. We laughed and laughed as we shared memories of our time in school

Update! I'm back blogging!

Last night my nephew Joel and his family were passing through town on their way to CO. We had dinner together and I had so much fun seeing them.

Last week I spoke about Africa five days at a Vacation Bible School in Iowa. I spoke each evening to five different age groups. I'm back in Omaha and kind of glad that all my speaking is now over. I have no more planned and that is ok because I am busy otherwise.

My next few weeks will involve getting ready for two reunions. My 46th class reunion for my Nursing Class will be July 23 and I am on the committee of three to plan it. My family reunion will be the first weekend of August and I am on a committee of two to plan that.


I have not been blogging recently but I want to get back into it. This is a start!

Immanuel Hospital History

I graduated from Immanuel Hospital School of Nursing in 1970. Here is an interesting article showing the history of the old Immanuel Hospital.

I've been keeping busy but will soon get back to blogging.

Birth of Two Babies!

On Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus. I had a nice Christmas Eve at my stepBrother's house. We had a snow storm that day but the snow stopped at 1pm so it did not hinder our evening plans of a Christmas Eve service at church and then a meal with presents.

On December 26th, the day after Christmas there was another birth. I now have a new Grandniece, Emery Noel. Her parents have been married for nine years, and then waited for ten days after her birth was "due'.

I've had a virus which brought quite a lot of coughing. I have spent a number of days at home and am getting back to normal but as I type this I am coughing.



Today's Positives:
1. My Christmas was nice.
2. My grandniece Emery Noel was born.
3. My cough is about done.

More soon ........................ in the New Year!  334 

Merry Christmas!

                                                                                    Merry Christmas from my home to yours!

I have celebrated Christmas all month with lots of parties and activities. Yesterday Omaha had 7-8 inches of snow so it was/is truly a "White Christmas". I went to Christ Community for their Christmas service on Wednesday and then yesterday went to Emmanuel Fellowship with stepBrother Bill and his family yesterday. We then had a nice evening at Bill's home. Today I am at home and enjoying the day.

Swedish Rye Bread!

Each time I packed barrels for shipment to Africa I put a five pound bag of rye flour. Then each Christmas I used enough to make 5 loaves of Swedish Rye bread but froze the rest of the flour for the next three Christmas seasons!
I don't plan to make bread this Christmas.

Today I went to a Christmas Boutique at a local High School. There were many craft tables but one bake goods table and guess what I bought... a loaf of Swedish Rye bread. That's what I had for lunch...with ham and cheese. Yum!

Today's Positives:
1. I finally went to a Christmas craft show.
2. I was able to buy a loaf of Swedish Rye Bread.
3. I've been enjoying watching some TV but I'm about to get up and MOVE.
